You may find some fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts; you’ll also find some in /usr/share/fonts, Be careful about removing fonts that are used by the operating system. If in doubt, don‘t.

opens___.ttf is the “Open Symbol” font. I think it’s obsolete (it’s a “hack” font, not encoded according to Unicode), but I’d be slow to recommend removing it, just in case.

Where did all your additional fonts come from? Some are installed automatically by the system, some by various applications.

You can open OTF fonts and save them as TTF fonts with Fontforge; but, as Dotan has pointed out, you can use OTF fonts with Openoffice 3.2.

To install additional fonts (whether Opentype or Truetype) just put them into /usr/local/share/fonts if they’re for everybody who uses your computer or into /home/***/.fonts [where *** is your user name] if they’re just for you.

I’m not an expert; the points above were learnt the hard way, and may even contain some errors. If in doubt ...
